Project overview
This project will resurface the deteriorating chip seal pavement (due to rutting, cracking and normal wear) with a chip seal overlay. This will extend the service life of the existing pavement.
The project will also develop a Complete Streets analysis for design including providing non-motorized facilities or improving existing facilities. Complete Streets project pre-design will develop options to include bicycle and pedestrian facilities, in accordance with RCW 47.04.035
Not undertaking this project will result in a further deterioration of the road and will result in a failure to address the risks to pedestrians and non-motorized vehicle users encounter when using this stretch of road.
What to expect
Online and in-person listening sessions, online open house(s), media appearances, press releases and travel advisories.
